The people of the 1880's didn't really live their lives in shades of sepia. They just didn't have color film. They did have very precise and mechanical graphics though, that were fabulously ornate. This design is available as both fabric and matching wallpaper for the recreation of Victorian times. I would love to see it used in a Victorian home restoration. Though technically it is made of all modern elements (and printed by computer, which is not something the Victorians had!) it has a decidedly Victorian feeling that would work well with real 1880's and even 1980's things.
